Title: Zune Software and MC similarities
Post by: pank2002 on November 03, 2006, 11:33:44 am
Engadget has posted (http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/03/microsoft-zune-player-and-software-hands-on-gallery/) some pictures of the new Zune player and its software.
It seems that there is some similarities between the Zune software and MC, including the stacked view.

Also, notice the album art on the very right of the screen. Just as in MC.

Jim already acknowledged that the stacked view was something they borrowed from Microsoft, not the other way around.

Um... MC's album art is in the lower left corner. The right hand side of MC is a scrollbar. Am I misunderstanding something here?

Stole, doof.  Turnabout is fair play.

I frankly think they're worried about us.

I still laugh at downloading 128Kb or even higher music.  How can people live without lossless?  I just don't get it?!
